Scrimp tacos. Ok. Shrimp and getting smaller
Paul J.

You're in. You're out. This place is pretty busy. And for good reason they have great homemade salsa, friendly staff and a truck stop across the street and very busy Chevron stations. They are based next door to. They have beer and margaritas. I don't think I've ever seen that before. Plus they have some lovely little palapas which are confront tables outside which is the name sake of the restaurant. So if you like a lovely sunny afternoon lunch, this place is perfect. I've had the bean and cheese burrito. I thought it was excellent. I think the beans are super creamy other than the carne asada. I also thought it was good. I think if I were to get the fish I would maybe ask for crispy and a little extra sauce and your choice of flour or corn tortillas. These guys do it right?

Soggy taco
Erin P.

Very nice customer service by the single/only person that appeared to be on staff at the time of our visit. I love to get a shredded beef taco in a hard shell, but well, they were out of shredded beef and didn't have rolled tacos. So we opted for a steak taco and a couple of quesadillas. Never seen a quesadilla like this one, some meat and cheese sandwiched between 2 small flour tortillas. The soft corn shell on my beef taco was soggy and fell apart, but the meat did taste really good. The whole adventure wasn't really filling as the portions were just a bit small for the prices. (Btw the menu board didn't have any prices on it so we had to order price-blindly) Again, the food was tasty but I kinda wish we'd chosen to go to the Taco Bell next door.

Best surprise in Yuma!

Nov, 2025. Yuma, AZ. My husband and I were traveling between Palm Springs, CA and Tucson, AZ, and…read morewe decided to eat lunch in Yuma as this was roughly the half-way point on our journey. Given the proximity of Yuma to Mexico, we decided that we wanted to eat "authentic" Mexican food. We then turned to Yelp to identify Mexican restaurants with good reviews and in close proximity to I-8, which is what brought us to Tacos Mi Rancho. The restaurant was easy to find, but every single parking space was already taken; we were able to park on the adjacent side street for free and without incident. The restaurant was busy but there were a few small tables for two available. We were greeted promptly by our friendly waitress, and we were given menus and she took our drink orders. Another server immediately brought a bowl of tortilla chips and tasty salsa (gratis). My husband and I both ordered from the "Senior Citizen Portions" menu for those aged 62 Years and Older. All entrees include beans, rice, and salad for $12.50. (Note that the entrees that we selected, as well as some other menu offerings and pozole, are on special on Friday's, the day that we visited. They were $10.99 each). My husband ordered #11, two chicken enchiladas, while I got the #12, one chili relleno/one rolled taco. I also got a horchata (a sweet and creamy non-alcoholic beverage made primarily from rice, cinnamon, and vanilla), which was served in a huge glass with ice; no refills ($3.99). We split our entrees, and all of the food was well-portioned and tasty. We felt that the meals were a good value. We were also pleasantly surprised to find that the tastes were similar to those at our local Mexican restaurant back home in Virginia. The restaurant is in an old, nondescript building, but is tastefully decorated with a Mexican theme. It was clean, and workers wiped down the tables immediately after patrons left. One pet peeve was that the final bill that was given to us included only the total, so it was difficult to know whether it was correct or not. The total was $28.67, before taxes. We were able to reproduce this total as: 2 entrees at $10.99 each + 1 horchata ($3.99) + Yuma and Arizona taxes ($2.70, @ 10.41%). Overall rating: 4.5, rounded up to 5.0.

I have ate here many times over the years when I visit Yuma. The restaurant is small, but delicious…read moreand the service is always wonderful. I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal! The ambiance is casual and welcoming. This time I got the enchiladas meal with two cheese and one shredded beef. Very good and filling.
